Abstract: A bone plate assembly (10) is provided for fixation of spaced vertebra. The bone plate assembly (10) has at least one through passage (15, 25) for securing the plate to bone with a bone fixation screw (23). The threaded shaft of a bone fixation screw (23) is inserted through a bushing (30) located in the through passage (15, 22) of the bone plate assembly (10) and the screw (23) is thereby threadably secured to the underlying bone and the bushing (30) is then compressed inward against the head (25) of the screw (23) with cams (37) that are actuated by rotating the bushing in the through passage (15, 22) whereby the screw (23) is locked relative to the bone plate assembly (10). The bushing (30) is not only compressed inwardly against the head (25) of the screw (23) but is also compressed downwardly by the cams (37) into a seat (39) to clamp separate elements (11, 12) of the bone plate assembly (10) together.  An access passage (51) in upper surface (41, 42) of bushing (30) is dimensioned (d) for receiving screw head (25) therethrough for access to a socket bore (35) within the bushing (30).

Abstract: A device for receiving satellite signals, associated to a parabolic dish (2) suitable for reflecting to a corresponding focus a first signal (25) at a first frequency and a second signal (35) at a second frequency. The device comprises a first feed (7,8) arranged near the focus suitable for transducing the first signal and transmitting it to a first receiver (9), a second feed (40,40a,40b) arranged near the focus suitable for transducing the second signal (35,35a,35b) and transmitting it to a second receiver. The first frequency is dedicated to TV channels and the second frequency is at a band different from the first frequency and is dedicated to internet transmissions. The feeds can be of double reflection type, comprising a reflecting plate (7) that directs signals already reflected from the parabolic dish (2) towards a tubular wave guide (8) co-axial to the parabolic dish as well as towards a dipole (40) that constitutes the second feed. This way a simultaneous TV receiving and internet transreceiving on a same satellite antenna can be effected on a same satellite antenna using a single feed device.

Title: Stabilizing crosslinked polymer guars and modified guar derivatives
Inventor: KELLY PATRICK ARTHUR
IPC: C09K8/08
Filed: 2005-08-04
Granted: 2010-03-16
Abstract: An aqueous, viscoelastic treating fluid gelled with a crosslinked guar or guar derivative is stabilized and improved with an effective amount of a glycol, such as ethylene glycol. These fluids are more stable in that viscosity is maintained, particularly at elevated temperatures. The additives may also increase viscosity to the point where less of a crosslinked guar or guar derivative gelling agent is required to maintain a given viscosity. These stabilized, enhanced, aqueous, viscoelastic fluids may be used as treatment fluids for subterranean hydrocarbon formations, such as in hydraulic fracturing.

IPC: A61K6/884
Filed: 2006-10-19
Granted: 2017-01-24
Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the layerwise production of a product comprising the steps of applying a layer of a hardenable material, wherein for example the process parameters of layer thickness and layer material are adjustable, selectively hardening predetermined regions of the applied layer on the basis of the geometrical data of the product, wherein for example the process parameters for the nature and level of the energy input are adjustable, repeating those steps until the geometry of the product has been produced in the form of hardened material, and finally removing the non-hardened material. Known processes suffer from the disadvantage that they do not afford variability in regard to the local properties of the product. The invention remedies that disadvantage insofar as at least one process parameter is altered during the production procedure in order to influence the grain size in a first region of the product in relation to a second region of the product.

Abstract: Mechanical compression and vacuum release mechanisms for internal combustion engines. The compression and vacuum release mechanism may include a pair of centrifugally responsive flyweights pivotally mounted to the cam gear. One of the flyweights actuates a vacuum release member having a vacuum release cam and the other of the flyweights actuates a compression release member having a compression release cam. In another embodiment, the compression and vacuum release mechanism includes a single flyweight having structure associated therewith to actuate a vacuum release member and a compression release member having respective vacuum and compression release cams. The compression and vacuum release cams are in lifting engagement with the valve actuation structure of one of the intake or exhaust valves of the engine during engine starting to relieve compression and vacuum within the combustion chamber and thereby facilitate easier engine starting. After the engine is started and reaches running speed, centrifugal force causes the compression and vacuum release cams to move out of engagement with the valve actuation structure of the intake or exhaust valve to allow the engine to operate normally.

Abstract: At time t1 an ignition-off command is received. In response, a CPU refers to an estimated battery temperature map to obtain an estimated battery temperature corresponding to an outside air temperature obtained at time t1. At time t2, an ignition--on command is received. In response, the CPU obtains an actual battery temperature obtained at time t2 and from the estimated battery temperature and the actual battery temperature calculates a modified, estimated battery temperature for the first received ignition-on command. Furthermore the CPU updates a value corresponding to the outside air temperature obtained at time t1 in the estimated battery temperature map to be the corrected, estimated battery temperature.
